I know it’s not the holiday season yet but I just couldn’t keep this thought out my head. X3 Enjoy!~
The Autobot base buzzed with activity, loud Christmas music filling the halls as the holoforms of multiple bots dashed about. In the rec room a magnificent tree stood shimmering with ornaments of gold and silver hanging from its limbs. With some of the bots sporting Santa hats and Reindeer antlers, the Christmas Eve Party began.
Denali chuckled as the pulsating beat of the music reached her in the hall. When she had propose the idea of a Christmas party, Prowl had protested the very thought while the other Bots felt it was a great idea. An excuse to understand human holidays a little bit better and to unwind and have a little fun. As she reached the doorway she spotted someone leaning against the door frame. Her heart fluttered for a moment but she pushed it aside, a smile spreading across her lips, “Evening, Optimus.”
Optimus Prime’s holoform gazed over his shoulder, arms crossed against his chest. He smiled for an instant, nodding his head to her, “Good evening, Denali.” Her smiled widened for a moment as stood beside him watching the party from a distance. Jazz and Blaster were playing an assortment of upbeat Christmas music while the Twins had obviously misunderstood the coal tradition of the holidays, opting to throw it at their teammates rather than fill their stockings with it. Denali shook her head with a laugh resting her hands on her hips, “I dunno. May this wasn’t such a good idea.” She joked. Optimus turned his head to speak but Sunstreaker’s prominent voice cut him off.
“Look who’s under the mistletoe! Pucker up you two!” The golden Lamborghini shouted drawing everyone’s attention to the individuals standing in the doorway. Denali’s eyes widened as she froze up stiff like an icicle slowly lifting her gaze to see the small white plant taped to the top of the door frame.
“Scrap…” she murmured lowering her gaze to look at a clueless Prime, her cheeks turning bright red. Optimus raised an eyebrow at her before gazing at Sunstreaker, “I’m not sure I understand.” He said in utter confusion.
Sideswipe chuckled as he explained, “It’s a human tradition that when two individuals of the opposite gender meet under a piece of mistletoe that they must kiss.” The last part of his sentence grabbed the attention of every bot in the room, turning their attention and eyes to Denali and Optimus.
Denali swallowed thickly, glancing at Optimus as he returned his gaze to her, unfolding his arms and shifting his body so he faced her. “Is that true or is this another of their pranks?” He asked her in a low murmured. With her lips pressed into a tight line she nodded her head with a stiff neck. Prime blinked his eyes a few times before letting out a small chuckle.
“Kiss her already, Prime! We ain’t got all night!” Ironhide hackled.
The human girl began to tremble as Optimus lowered his head to her level slowly bringing his face closer to hers. Denali’s lips quivered her heart pounding like thunder in her chest. Was this really happening? She liked Optimus. She liked him a lot, but she never thought that he would ever kiss her! There was a gentle sparkle in his bright blue eyes, seeing her hesitation. With a quick smile he gently kissed her cheek, a loud moan of disappointment rising from the Autobots.
Denali’s lips parted slightly as her fingers touched her cheek. Optimus stepped back nodding his head before turning and leaving the room. She stood frozen for a moment watching him leave. A hand patted her shoulder and she glanced behind her to see Ironhide’s gruff holoform. He smiled at her a chuckle rumbling in his chest, “Don’t leave ‘im waitin’ for too long.” The Weapon Specialist said before returning to the party. She stood in complete silence staring in the direction the Prime had gone.
“I won’t…” Denali murmured.
Prime had made his way outside shifting to his bot holoform. His pedes crunched across the icy ground, the cool breeze nipping at his armor. Snowflakes floated down from the night sky before gently landing in his servo and melting a moment later. He smiled turning his helm towards the sky pausing to watch the billions of tiny snowflakes drift down to the ground.
His audials twitched as he heard the sound of small feet crushing the snow underfoot. Gazing over his shoulder he spotted Denali nestled in a warm jacket with a poofy scarf wrapped around her neck. A hand knitted hat was place atop her head and a pair of thin gloves covered her delicate hands. She smiled nervously at him, fiddling with her hands slightly. “Watcha up to?” Denali asked softly as she reached his side following his gaze.
“Enjoying the beauties of your world.” Optimus replied softly glancing over at her for a moment. Denali smiled meeting his gaze for a moment before gazing skyward again. After a moment of silence she sighed, drawing Optimus’s attention lowering his helm to look at her. “What’s wrong?”
Denali shook her head, motioning with her finger for him to come closer like she wanted to tell him a secret. Thinking nothing of it the Prime lowered his helm so they were both at eye level. Denali smiled nervously before she whispered, “I owe you this from earlier.” She leaned forward pressing her lips against his cool metal ones, squeezing her eyes shut. Optimus’s optics brightened in surprise as she pulled back, his processor buzzing. He shifted forward a bit catching her lips in his again, his servos resting on her hips pulling her closer to his warm frame. Denali cupped his cheek plate in her hand while her body molded against his frame. Her lips caressed his earning her a soft moan from the Autobot Leader while his servos gently massaged her waist. They finally broke apart, both chuckling under their breaths as they rested their foreheads together.
“Didn’t think you’d be such a good kisser.” Denali murmured with rosy red cheeks, a smile on her lips.
A purr rose from Optimus’s vocal processor as he gently nuzzled her, “You never gave me the chance to show you.” He laughed. She giggled snuggling closer to his chest as warmth radiated from his spark chamber. Just barely grazing her lips over his she murmured, “Silly me.” Optimus rumbled softly gently kissing her back cradling her cheek in his servo. Denali purred in approval pressing her cheek into his hand while his lips gently danced over hers.
“Optimus…” She breathed catching her breath as she lifted her head to see a shooting star streak across the sky. Prime followed her gaze, seeing the small speck before it disappeared on the horizon. Denali smiled glancing up at him, her eyes reflecting the stars above, “What’s your Christmas wish?”
Optimus lowered his optics so he could look at her. She was so beautiful… “All I want.” He began, tugging her closer to his chest, “Is you.”
He expected her to scream. He expected her to yell at him. But she didn’t. Instead she smiled, giggling softly. “Only if I can have you.” Denali countered. Optimus chuckled, his spark swelling in his chest for a moment, “Always.” He murmured before he kissed her again. She tilted up onto her toes, kissing him back with passion that he willingly returned. His servo slid around to the small of her back, tracing his digits up her back. The girl moaned softly while her hands kneaded his chest and shoulders causing his frame to shudder under her hand.
There was a whoop and wolf whistle from a ways off. The two broke apart, turning their heads in sync to see the base gather outside the door. “Way ta go Prime!” Ironhide hooted.
“Took them along enough.” Sunny smirked while Sides cheered words of praise to Denali.
Denali shook her head with a laugh, glancing up at Optimus, “Shall we continue this later?” she asked with a sparkle in her eye. The Prime chuckled, wrapping his arm around her waist, “We shall.” He murmur in her ear before leading her back into the base…
